INTRODUCTION
This work—the Handbook for Rebels and Outlaws—is a book about freedom. Written for intellectual swashbucklers–men and women who are radicals in politics and infidels in religion–warriors who hammer the stake of fear into the heart of tyranny–this volume belongs in select book collections, between the black magic and the pornography texts. Designed as a reference book for the enemies of all orthodoxies and despotisms, the Handbook for Rebels and Outlaws contains much information that is not beautiful. The reader must remember, however, that brutality is a fact in nature. When the autumn comes—observe the Chinese— no leaf is spared because of its beauty, and no flower is spared because of its fragrance. The information detailed here has been excavated from diverse sources. I have quarried the writings of philosophers and fiends, saints and mass murderers, sages and madmen, beneficent societies and sinister conventicles, illuminated religions and blasphemous cults. Why have I used evil sources? According to a traditional teaching— this one found among Kabbalahists—the wise man can learn from any source—even a thief. The thief is ever watchful, he takes every opportunity, and he does not despise the least gain. Besides, as the Argentine Jorge Luis Borges pointed out, “In adultery, there is usually tenderness and self-sacrifice; in murder, courage; in profanation and blasphemy, a certain satanic splendor.” *** This work–it is important to emphasize– is not an instruction manual for criminals. Frankly, in the current age–an era of depravity that the Hindus call the “Age of Kali”—violating laws is unnecessary. In the proper “context,” all crime is legal in our corrupt civilization.

AMIN, IDI (1925-2003)
An African tyrant, who called himself “His Excellency President for Life,” “Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Sea,” and “Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular,” Idi Amin terrorized Uganda, the “pearl of Africa,” between 1971 and 1979. Amin was ridiculed by some, but was feared by all. A master of propaganda, Idi Amin had himself photographed in a sedan chair borne by four underweight Englishmen. A fifth white man–a Swede–carried a sunshade for the dictator.

ANARCHISM
In narrow terms, anarchism is the rejection of the state. In broad terms, anarchism is the rejection of coercion and domination in all forms, including that of the priests and the plutocrats. The anarchist is a man in revolt. He abominates all forms of authoritarianism, and he is the enemy of parasitism, exploitation, and oppression. The anarchist frees himself from all that is sacred and carries out a vast program of desecration. The classic anarchist embraces the convict and the outcast—the socalled subproletariat—and he uses bombs and commits assassinations. The classic anarchist believes that the established order is based on crime and murder, so crime and murder are justified. In the words of one anarchist tract: “Our modern civilization is a Moloch temple reared upon the bodies of slaughtered slaves. Let the terrorists do what they will, they cannot equal the crimes of our masters.” The anarchists who flourished from 1880 to World War I were especially dedicated to the destruction of established governments, making way for a new order. Anarchists killed a Russian tsar in 1881, a French president in 1894, an Italian king in 1900, and an American president in 1901. In addition to these leaders, police stations, churches, law courts, and establishment figures were also attacked. One celebrated anarchist was Nestor Makhno. A Ukrainian active in the Russian civil war, Makhno destroyed prisons wherever he went. The

14 MARK MIRABELLO banknotes printed on his behalf declared–on the notes–that no one would be prosecuted for counterfeiting them.

ANARCHISM, BOMBS AND
The bomb is fundamental to classical anarchism. The purpose of dynamite, the anarchists believe, is not to kill, but to make the deaf hear. To the anarchists, bomb throwing represents the “aesthetics of terrorism.” The victim is unimportant, they believe, as long as the gesture is “beautiful.”

ANARCHISM, DEMOCRACY AND
Anarchists view democracy as a cunning swindle. Universal suffrage, they insist, is a mask that hides a really despotic state power based on the police, the banks, and the army. Anarchists do not believe in emancipation by the ballot. Abstentionist, they believe that voting is an act of weakness—a form of complicity with a corrupt regime. Anarchist Mikhail Bakunin claimed that universal suffrage is “the most refined manifestation of the political charlatanism of the state.” It is, he wrote, the “surest means of making the masses co-operate in the building of their own prison.” According to Emma Goldman, “If voting changed anything, they would make it illegal.”

ANASTASIA, ALBERT (1903-1957)
A Mafia leader and chief executioner of “Murder, Incorporated,” Albert Anastasia avoided the electric chair five times. On every occasion, witnesses against him would disappear or “die.” Anastasia’s most notorious murder involved Arnold Schuster, an ordinary salesman who contacted the police after recognizing a bank robber. Although the press praised Schuster as a “hero” who was doing his civic duty, Anastasia had the man, who was a stranger to him, killed. Anastasia said that he hated “rats.”

ANIMALS (HUMANS AND)
Man’s relationship with animals has been a violent one. For more than 99 percent of all recognized human existence, man lived as a hunter, killing instead of growing.

REBELS AND OUTLAWS 15 Later, with the development of pastoralism and agriculture around ten thousand years ago, the animal world avenged itself on mankind. The domesticated herds of the farmers, it appears, spread diseases to humans. Flu, for example, came from pigs and leprosy came from the water buffalo. Indeed, according to some historians, “all human infectious diseases have an animal origin.” In contrast, domesticated plants—at least so far—have taken no such revenge.

ANIMALS (RIGHTS OF)
Thomas Aquinas said that animals have no afterlife and no inherent rights. “Both their life and their death are subject to our use,” claimed Aquinas. And Albert Camus claimed that there was “not enough love in the world to squander it on anything but human beings.” Others disagree, however. In a pamphlet entitled To War for a Liberated Society, the Animal Liberation Front called for the assassination of vivisectionists and hunters. Seeing animals as the helpless victims of predatory humans, the Animal Liberation Front has declared war on furriers, slaughterhouses, zoo keepers, and—above all—medical research laboratories.

ANTI-BIOGRAPHY
An anti-biography is a scurrilous work on a person’s life. It is a species of non-violent, white-collar terrorism. When Leon Trotsky, the communist leader, was murdered in Mexico with an ice ax, he was trying to complete an anti-biography about Joseph Stalin. Trotsky had already written Stalin’s Crimes, The Real Situation in Russia, and The Stalinist School of Falsification.

ANTI-CHRIST
The “man of sin,” the Anti-Christ is the son of Satan and a harlot. Often described as the ultimate rebel, in reality he has a walk-on part in the Bible— a cameo role. According to Revelation 17:3, world leaders will follow the man of sin and they will “give their power and authority to the beast.” According to the Bible, the “number of the beast” is CHI XI STIGMA or DCLXVI. In the oldest New Testament manuscript, however, the number is CHI LOTA STIGMA or DCXVI.

16 MARK MIRABELLO

ARISTOCRACY
Aristocracy means “rule by the best” in Greek. According to Baron Giulio Evola, “superiority and power need to go hand in hand, as long as we remember that power is based on superiority and not vice versa .” According to the author of Might is Right, “Aristocracies have always originated in War. Sham ones grow up (like mushrooms) in times of peace.” A pure aristocracy existed in the Aztec Empire. The Aztec aristocracy was not hereditary, but any Aztec male could become an aristocrat by manifesting skill and courage in war. If an Aztec killed or captured four men, he joined the upper ranks of society and received a share of the tribute. He was eligible to join the jaguar knights (who wore jaguar skins in battle) or the eagle-knights (who wore eagle heads). Interestingly, Aztec punishments were harsher on the upper class. If plebes became drunk in public, they were admonished and their heads were shaved. If nobles became drunk in public, they were executed.

ARMAGEDDON
In religious terms, “Armageddon” is a final battle at the end of the eon. In secular terms, “Armageddon” refers to a disaster that will destroy the world as we know it. Pliny the Younger, while watching the eruption of Vesuvius, was not afraid because he thought “that all mankind were involved in the same calamity, and that I was perishing with the world itself.” Any number of cosmically trivial events could easily exterminate the human race. For example, a few dozen asteroids swing inside the orbit of the Earth and these asteroids could eventually collide with our planet.

ARMY OF THE DEAD
There are reports that Islamic radicals have recruited special suicide bombers, called an “Army of the Dead,” who will launch a “Great March of Destruction” on the “infidels.” Allegedly, this Army of the Dead is composed of HIV-positive men and men with full-blown AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). By sacrificing their lives, the bombers believe they will purge themselves of sin.

REBELS AND OUTLAWS

ARSENIC
A lethal poison, arsenic causes vomiting, diarrhea, and a weak pulse. Arsenic was once so commonly used to kill relatives that it was called “inheritance powder.” Arsenic was favored because it is tasteless and odorless. In 1836, however, James Marsh developed the first chemical test to prove the presence of the poison. Science can now detect arsenic in even badly decomposed corpses.

ARSON
Arson is the criminal act of deliberately setting fire to property. According to fire marshals, the telltale signs of arson are two or more separate fires, an especially fast-burning fire, or a strong odor of flammable liquids such as kerosene. Also, if investigators cannot find a credible source for a fire, they will suspect arson. Arson is difficult to prove in court. By definition, most of the evidence is circumstantial.

ARSON (MURDER AND)
The firebombing of Tokyo by the United States, which annihilated 80,000 to 200,000 children, women, and men, is humanity’s worst example of arson and murder. The U.S.A. Strategic Bombing Survey concluded that “probably more people lost their lives by fire in a six-hour period than at any time in the history of man.” The attack, which occurred on March 9-10, 1945, created a conflagration that lasted four days. More than sixteen square miles burned. During the raid, some of the B-29 crewmen became sick from the stench of burning flesh. According to some estimates, firebombing raids on Japan during World War II killed as many as three million people.

ARTICLE 58
An infamous law in the penal code of Soviet Russia, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn pointed out that Article 58 was so encompassing that anyone could be charged with crimes against the state. Curiously— in the Soviet “terror”—most arrests occurred because ordinary people were denouncing other ordinary people. By contacting the secret police, anyone could cause an enemy, a friend, a neighbor, a stranger, or a relative to disappear into the horrible gulag system.

18 MARK MIRABELLO According to one historian, “Strange as it may seem, in Stalinist Russia the decision about who would go to jail was left largely to the discretion of ordinary citizens. Because anyone could cause anyone else’s arrest, Soviet terror acquired the awesomely random quality that rendered it so effective.”

ASCETICISM
An ascetic is a self-disciplined person who avoids any sensory pleasures or luxuries. An ascetic has been defined as someone who kills the senses. According to Vilfredo Pareto, “In our Western races three abstinence taboos have come down across the ages, and in order of increasing violence: abstinence from meat, abstinence from wine, abstinence from everything pertaining to sex.” Although William Morris called for the “utter extinction of all asceticism,” seventy-two castrated men–eunuchs–are saints in the Roman Catholic Church. And, on the subject of eunuchs, Jesus the Nazarene makes this statement in Matthew 19:12: “For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to receive this, let him receive it.”

ASSASSINATION
When the powerful kill the powerless, it is an execution. When the weak slay the mighty, it is called an assassination. When the weak kill their peers–it should be noted–it is simple murder. In ancient Rome, when the citizen body was small and everyone knew everyone else, assassination was extremely rare. Later, during the Empire, when the Roman territories comprehended some three million square kilometers, the situation was different. Assassins killed nearly two-thirds of all Roman emperors. Indeed, of the twenty emperors who ruled between A.D. 235 and A.D. 284, all but three were killed by assassins. In modern history, the great period of assassination was from 1865 (Abraham Lincoln’s death) to 1914 (Archduke Franz Ferdinand’s death). In that period of forty-nine years, one head of a state or major minister was killed every eighteen months.

REBELS AND OUTLAWS 19 And, between 1893 and 1901, assassins dispatched a French president, a Spanish Prime Minister, an Empress from Austria-Hungary, an Italian king, and an American president. According to Niccolo Machiavelli, the most dangerous assassin is the suicide attacker. Since he expects to die–and therefore is beyond all reprisals–he is the perfect killing machine.

ASSASSINATION, EFFECTIVENESS OF
The United States of America has been involved in approximately two hundred wars and military “incursions,” but none of these has ever killed a president. Assassins, however, have killed four presidents. Not without reason did Niccolo Machiavelli observe that a plot is more dangerous to political leaders than an “open war.” More often than not, however, assassination attempts are unsuccessful. Queen Victoria of Britain survived seven assassination attempts on her life. The last attempt was by an aspiring poet. Charles de Gaulle survived thirty-one documented assassination attempts without serious injury. In one spectacular attack–during a church service at Notre Dame Cathedral–assassins opened fire and two civilians were killed. Notoriously brave, De Gaulle did not flee or even duck under the pew during assault, but continued to face the altar and continued to sing Te Deum, a hymn to the Christian God. But, although an assassination is difficult, it is possible. In 1984, after a failed attempt on the life of the British prime minister, the Irish Republican Army issued this statement: “Today we were unlucky, but remember we have to be lucky only once.”

ASSASSINATION, METHODS OF
The Central Intelligence Agency of the United States produced a manual called “A Study of Assassination” in 1954. Written anonymously, the probable author was William “Rip” Robertson. Written for operatives, the manual details the strengths and weaknesses of various assassination methods, from drugs and poisons (effective if the target is under “medical care”), knives ( it recommends “severing” both the “jugular and cartotid blood vessels” or “the spinal cord in the cervical region”), improvised weapons such as a hammer or a length of rope (these are “efficient,” “readily available,” and “not incriminating” if the assassin

Little is known about the secrets of the Order. they were able to move close to Conrad and assassinate him. He discarded orthodox war–war.

CONSPIRACY
Nesta Webster defined a conspiracy as a “combination of people.” The first American draft was introduced in April 1862 in the Confederacy. a conspiracy by its very nature is a committee. A confession without evidence cannot convict. The draft was unpopular and hurt the rebel cause. A conspiracy is therefore less efficient than an individual. the argument was rejected by the Supreme Court on grounds of expediency. The draftees were 63 percent of all those who “served. the African population of the Congo had been reduced to 8. through forced labor and atrocities.

COUNTERFEITING, ORGANIZED CRIME AND
Organized crime was once heavily involved in counterfeiting. Exploiting the fact that all American currency is the same size, the Mafia bleached one-dollar bills and printed hundred-dollar bills on the distinctive “cotton and linen”paper that the U.S.A. treasury uses. Today, however, counterfeiting is considered a crime for amateurs. The mob knows that counterfeiting is not worth the risk. It is easier to forge and pass a thousand-dollar check than to counterfeit and pass ten hundred-dollar bills. Also, in the U.S.A. check forgery is a state crime and counterfeiting is a federal offense.

COUP D’ETAT
A coup d’etat, which is also called a putsch, is a political action by a small group using force of arms. On November 9, 1799, using reliable troops, Napoleon Bonaparte incapacitated France’s political elite and staged the first modern coup d’etat. To succeed, the coup plotters must conduct a surreptitious seizure of the nerve centers of the state. The coup operatives target key institutions, such as the presidential palace, the opposition party leaders, the headquarters of major labor unions, radio and television stations, newspaper offices, airports and crucial transportation links, and so forth. To neutralize the population, the coup is carried out under false slogans. Usual promises include stopping corruption, restoring the Constitution, ending dictatorship, and so forth. The classic elements in any coup are deception, surgically employed force, and sham legality. Classic how-to manuals on the subject include Technique du Coup d’etat by Curzio Malaparte (1931) and Coup d’etat: A Practical Handbook by Edward Luttwak (1969).

COUP D’ETAT (EXAMPLES OF)
In the first fifty years of independence, Africa had eighty successful coups. Twenty-four African leaders were killed during the operations. Bolivia, since its independence from Spain, has had more than two hundred coups. In the United States, during the Great Depression, some plutocrats plotted to oust Franklin Delano Roosevelt and replace him with Marine Major General Smedley D. Butler, the winner of two “Medals of Honor.” The plot failed because Butler exposed the conspiracy to Congress.

COUP D’ETAT (FAUX)
As defined by Ken Conor, a “faux coup d’etat” is a fake coup staged by an incumbent government to discredit the legitimate opposition. A faux coup may involve violence–including murder. The faux coup will last only as long as it will take to arrest opposition politicians and their supporters and to plant incriminating “evidence” in their homes and offices. Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, a “president” of Equatorial Guinea, used the faux coup against his enemies on several occasions.

REBELS AND OUTLAWS

COURAGE
Courage has been defined as “strength in the face of pain or grief.” According to proverbial wisdom, courage is something a person can never totally own and never totally lose.

COVER, EFFECTIVE TYPES OF
A cover is a deception. A type of disguise, a cover conceals identity and function. As a cover, an Islamic extremist in Al Qeda carries Christian paraphernalia, takes an unbeliever as a wife, never becomes involved in advocating good or denouncing evil, and never breaks any rules, including traffic laws. To disguise an organization, operatives name it so that it appears to be doing the opposite of its real purpose. According to one conspiracy theorist, if the operatives are selling illegal drugs, they do it through an antidrug agency. If they are running a Satanic ring, they do it through a Christian church.

COVER-UP
A cover-up is an attempt to camouflage the truth. Essential elements in a cover-up include brazen lying, discrediting witnesses, destroying evidence, and dreaming up a plausible cover story. The cover-up is especially effective if the people behind it control the information media.

CRIME
“Criminality,” like “madness,” in some respects does not exist. It is socially defined. In ancient Sparta, citizens could be whipped for being too fat. In medieval Europe, putting semen “in the mouth” was condemned as the “worst evil.” In the “Spice Islands” (now Malaysia and Indonesia), the Dutch colonial masters imposed the death penalty for anyone found growing, buying, stealing, or possessing (without authorization) nutmeg, cinnamon, or cloves. In Singapore today, importing or distributing chewing gum is a crime punishable by a fine or up to one year in prison. In Marxist thought, the most serious crimes are the crimes of the powerful. In the law codes of capitalist societies, however, these are scarcely recognized. Serious crimes in the Marxist mind include exploitation of labor, destruction of the Earth for profit, defrauding consumers, “price gouging,” “price fixing,” malfeasance in public office, violating civil rights, and so forth.

72 MARK MIRABELLO In the Bible, Jacob (later called Israel) deceived his father, cheated his uncle, and robbed his brother, but he was blessed by Jehovah. Whatever crime is, it is a significant force. According to Count Hermann Keyserling, “No radical change in the place of history is possible without crime.” And, according to Friedrich Nietzsche, “All progress is the result of successful crimes.”

CRIME (CAUSE OF)
According to the Hindus, sin exists because man is made with hunger. Crime happens, according to the Hindus, because of a “design flaw.” And—indeed—by design man has to nourish himself by slaughtering other species. What if, like plants, he could nourish himself by purely chemical changes with his environment? If man lived by photosynthesis—instead of destruction and devouring—perhaps there would be no crime.

CRIME (CESAR LOMBROSO ON)
Cesar Lombroso, the founder of modern criminology, developed the theory of the “born criminal,” popularly known as the “bad seed.” Lombroso argued that most criminality resulted from an inborn atavism in certain individuals which caused them to revert to an earlier phase of evolution. The criminal, Lombroso believed, is a throwback to our caveman forbears. The Nazis used Lombroso’s theory to stigmatize certain individuals as “hereditary criminals” and “degenerates.”

CRIME, FUNCTION OF
The sociologist Emile Durkheim argued that crime is as normal as birth or death. Crime he claimed, actually benefited society, just as the challenge of survival benefited a species. Durkheim thought that a crime-free society was probably impossible. And—since a crime-free society was too standardized—he thought that it was certainly undesirable.

CRIME (IMAGINARY)
An imaginary crime is an action stigmatized as illegal even though it is not unethical.

REBELS AND OUTLAWS 73 Imaginary crimes include smuggling (only governments view it as a crime), money laundering (here the mere act of spending or investing money from a crime becomes a second crime), and blackmail. Regarding blackmail, it was first outlawed in Britain at the end of the nineteenth century. Since no one blackmails a poor person, the laws against blackmail are designed to protect the wealthy.

CRIME, PARABLE ON
Consider this riddle: two men meet to play a game. One has all kinds of advantages (in society, this is the rich man), and one has all kinds of disadvantages (in society, this is the poor man). Should the latter follow the rules of the game and lose? (In real life, this is the honest poor man.) Or, should he break the rules and possibly win? (In real life, this is the criminal.) In every organized society, the riddle in the parable applies.

CRIME (PERFECT)
When everyone is guilty, the crime is a perfect crime. Colonel Daniel Parke, appointed a British colonial governor in 1706, normally resided in Antigua. Parke was greedy and possibly demented. He was hated by the settlers. Outraged by Parke’s behavior, armed Antiguans surrounded the governor’s house and demanded that he leave the island. In the tumult which followed, the planters killed Parke, and they killed or wounded most of the seventy soldiers guarding him. No one was ever punished for the rebellion or the murders. When the British crown investigated the crime, no Antiguan would testify, and the new governor could not punish the entire colony.

CRIMES, UNSOLVED
Many crimes remain unsolved. In 1930, for example, someone murdered Judge Joseph Crater of New York, who had many enemies. Although federal and state investigators conducted a massive investigation, the body was never discovered and the case was never solved. In 1973, someone stole 398 pounds of heroin and cocaine (with a street value of more than seventy-three million dollars) from the heavily guarded warehouse of the New York police. This case also remains unsolved.

CROSSBOW
Noiseless, powerful, and accurate, the ultimate pre-industrial weapon is the crossbow. The steel crossbow—its shaft tipped with poisonous white hellebore— was a favorite Renaissance weapon. Modern tests indicate that steel crossbows have a range of 460 yards. At 60 yards the bolt will penetrate three-fourths of an inch of plank. Although the conventional longbow requires years of practice, the crossbow is learned quickly.

CROWD, BEHAVIOR OF
Gustav Le Bon, the French sociologist who influenced both Mussolini and Hitler, wrote that “Crowds are everywhere distinguished by feminine characteristics.” According to Le Bon, “Crowds exhibit a docile respect for force, and are but slightly impressed by kindness, which for them is scarcely more than a form of weakness. Their sympathies have never been bestowed on easy-going masters, but on tyrants who vigorously oppress them. It is to these latter that they always erect their greatest statues. It is true that they willingly trample on the despot whom they have stripped of his power, but this is because, having lost his strength, he has resumed his place among the weak, who are to be despised and not feared.” According to military studies, group behavior tends to less retrained than individual behavior. Predictably, atrocities are rarely committed by unobserved individuals.

CROWLEY, ALEISTER (1875-1947)
An author, occultist, mountain climber, drug user, and satyr, Aleister Crowley has been called the “Avatar” of the Anti-Christ. Crowley taught that the era of the tyrant gods—the gods who demand abjection and obedience—had come to an end. The new era, he declared, was in the power of the “Lord of Freedom.” Crowley declared, in a private letter, “I want blasphemy, murder, rape, revolution, anything, bad or good, but strong.” A rebel by nature, Crowley made this declaration: “The dead dog floats with the stream; in puritan France the best women are harlots; in vicious England the best women are virgins.”

CUI BONO
Cui Bono is Italian for “who benefits.” According to the reasoning of conspiracy theorists, the French revolution enfranchised the Jews, so Jews caused it. The “Russian Mafiya” gained the most from the dismantling of the Soviet Union, so organized crime was behind Boris Yeltsin and his anti-Soviet machinations.

CYNICS
The Cynics, an ancient Greek philosophical movement, have been called the first anarchists. The Cynics thought that men should strive for complete autonomy, for autarky (autarkeia). Virtue, they believed, is the highest good–and glory and wealth should be shunned. The Cynics believed that imitating the beasts is the shortest way to godliness. Diogenes, the most celebrated Cynic, actually defecated and masturbated in public.

D’ANNUNZIO, GABRIELE (1863-1938)
Gabriele D’Annunzio—who viewed himself as a poet and a warrior—part Dante and part Caesar—was a writer and a “man of action.” D’Annunzio was a decadent, a poet, a novelist, a dramatist, an artist, a musician, an aesthete, a womanizer, a genius, and a cad. An eccentric, the one-eyed D’Annunzio served guests wine from the skull of a virgin he had allegedly driven to suicide. When he was in his fifties, D’Annunzio involved himself in World War I and participated in torpedo-boat raids on the Austrians. He also flew a biplane over the Alps to drop propaganda leaflets. After the war, D’Annunzio decided to capture the city of Fiume and give it to Italy. After a necromantic ceremony with his mistress in Venice, on September 12, 1919 D’Annunzio seized Fiume with one thousand legionnaires. During the fifteen months that he held Fiume, artists, Bohemians, adventurers, and anarchists flocked to the city, and D’Annunzio’s gave his followers the main attributes that would later characterize fascism, such as the straight-arm salute, the black-shirted men with daggers, the harangues from the balcony, the rituals and the songs, and the humiliation of opponents by forcing them to drink castor oil.

DAVYDOV, DENIS (1784-1839)
A freedom fighter and a poet, Denis Davydov was one of Russia’s leading partisans during the French 1812 invasion of Russia. He became a national hero. Davydov wrote the “Essay on the Theory of Partisan Warfare.” He emphasized the need for surprise, mobility, and flexibility. Partisans, he said, should never take part in set battles. They should have no fixed bases. According to Davydov, partisans are best employed in attacks against the enemy’s supply lines and lines of communication. They should capture couriers for information. Davydov’s partisan creed was “ubit-da-viti”: “Kill and escape.”

DEATH
A meaningful death is important. As one cynic pointed out, who would remember Jesus if had died of old age or food poisoning? History is filled with creative deaths, including Cleopatra, who killed herself with two small, poisonous snakes, and Count Jan Potocki, a wealthy Polish aristocrat, adventurer, linguist, and writer, who committed suicide with a silver bullet. A mysterious end can also be effective. Romulus, the founder of Rome, allegedly disappeared during a thunderstorm. And Ambrose Bierce, an America author, disappeared in 1913 when he went to Mexico, presumably to report on the civil war there. According to one observer, “this sensational disappearance has done as much to keep his name alive as his writing ever did.”

DEATH, CONQUEST OF
It is possible, according to many traditions, to be stronger than death. If you want to maintain your present personality, during death you must keep your presence of mind. The technique is detailed in the Tibetan Book of the Dead and in the Egyptian Book of the Dead.

DEATH, ENCOUNTERS WITH
Although humans can be strangely resilient creatures–on January 26, 1972, a Yugoslav DC-9 exploded, and a twenty-three-year-old stewardess named Vesna Vulovic fell 33,000 feet in the tail section and survived —death may come in innumerable forms. On August 13, 1984, for example, John Edward Blue—a thirty-eightyear-old Massachusetts man—drowned during his baptism.

REBELS AND OUTLAWS 77 And there is at least one reported death from transporting “dry ice” (frozen carbon dioxide) in an enclosed car. Carbon dioxide is nontoxic at low levels (exhaled breath is 4-5 percent carbon dioxide), but at concentrations of 30 percent or more it can be lethal. It causes unconsciousness in one or two minutes—and death in five minutes—without much evidence of stress. When the “dry ice” melted in the closed automobile, the driver quietly passed out and died..

DEATH, ERIC HOFFER ON
According to Eric Hoffer, “Dying and killing seem easy when they are part of a ritual, ceremonial, dramatic performance, or a game.”

DEATH, HORRIFIC EFFECTS OF
Decay begins at time of death and proceeds outward from the intestines and other centers of bacteria in body. Decay proceeds rapidly at temperatures of 50-80 degrees Fahrenheit, but it slows or stops at roughly freezing temperatures. Generally speaking, the drier the conditions, the slower the decay. Also, when there is no oxygen, as when a body is underwater, decay will hardly proceed at all. Sand and peat bogs can preserve a body for centuries, but a body buried in light soil, close to the surface in a hot area like Florida, can be a skeleton in two months.

DEATH, PROPER TIME OF
Because of the uniformity which prevails in all that has been and all that will be, a man who is forty years old has experienced the gamut of human experience, including love, hate, beauty, ugliness, and fear, and is deprived of nothing by death. Marcus Aurelius, the Roman emperor and philosopher, said that.

DEBS, EUGENE (1855-1926)
A non-violent rebel, Eugene Debs was a candidate for the office of president of the United States six times. As the Socialist Party candidate he received 6 percent of the popular vote in 1912. Debs opposed the entry of the United States into World War I. For his stand, Debs was sentenced to ten years in prison and had his citizenship revoked.

78 MARK MIRABELLO He ran for the presidency from the Atlanta Penitentiary in 1920. Although behind bars, Debs received 3.5 percent of the vote. His sentence was commuted by Warren Harding, but he was disenfranchised for life.

DECEPTION
To deceive is to deliberately mislead another into believing something false. According to master theorist Sun Tzu, “All warfare is based on deception.” According to Niccolo Machiavelli, “Although in all other affairs it is hateful to use fraud, in the operations of war it is praiseworthy and glorious.” According to Francesco Guicciardini, “deception is very useful, whereas your frankness tends to profit others rather than you.”

DECEPTION, FUNCTION OF
Deception aims at leading the enemy into a predictable course of action or inaction which can be exploited. Note that it is not useful to simply feed the enemy deliberately confusing information—or to keep the enemy ignorant of all information. An enemy with ambiguous information or no information at all is likely to react in an unpredictable manner which you may be unable to exploit.

DECEPTION (SELF-DECEPTION)
Self-deception is common. Aristotle said that those who commonly deceive themselves are easily deceived by others.

DECEPTION, SUN TZU ON
According to Sun Tzu, “All warfare is based on deception. Therefore, when capable, feign incapacity; when active, inactivity. When near, make it appear that you are far away; when far away, that you are near. Offer the enemy a bait to lure him; feign disorder and strike him. When he concentrates, prepare against him; where he is strong, avoid him. Anger his general and confuse him. Pretend inferiority and encourage his arrogance. Keep him under a strain and wear him down. When he is united, divide him. Attack where he is unprepared; sally out when he does not expect you.”

DECEPTION, TECHNIQUES OF
There are several classic techniques of deception: 1. The Lure. Give the enemy what he thinks is a sudden opportunity. In reality, the apparent “opportunity” is actually a trap. In Indochina, the French dropped sacks of rice. They then bombed the Vietnamese guerrillas who tried to collect the rice. 2. The Classic Lie. On June 3, 1967, the Israeli minister of defense said that Israel would not strike her enemies first. On June 5, 1967, Israel attacked first. 3. The Double Bluff. In the “double bluff,” reveal the truth to the enemy— and gamble that he will not believe it. The “double bluff ” is effective against an enemy who expects deception. This technique is dangerous, so it is used mainly in poker. 4. The Unintentional Mistake. Convince the enemy that valuable information has come into his hands through a security problem or negligence. In World War II, the allies planted false invasion plans on a corpse in an incident referred to as “the man who never was.” 5. The Technique of Acclimatization by Slow Change. This technique is based on the fact that evolutionary change is less noticeable than revolutionary change. It is well known that a toad dropped into boiling water will jump out. A toad placed in room-temperature water will stay in the water until death, however, if the temperature is SLOWLY raised. It is interesting that when the U.S.A. introduced the modern income tax in 1914, the annual income tax per capita was twenty-eight cents! Rates have been raised slowly—without incident—ever since. 6. Fabricate a Pattern, albeit a Bogus One. In this deception, repeat something to lull an opponent into a false sense of security. Before the crossSuez attack in 1973, the Egyptian army had “war gamed” the assault over forty times before the eyes of the Israelis. Usually, however, only two feints are necessary. Typically, the enemy will react to the first feint, and often to the second as well, but he will hesitate to react to a third. Make the third effort the actual attack

DEFEAT
Between June and December 1941, two-thirds of the U.S.S.R.’s pre-war military strength was destroyed by Adolf Hitler’s forces. In that period, the U.S.S.R. lost four million soldiers (including two million prisoners-of-war), fourteen thousand aircraft, twenty thousand guns, and seventeen thousand tanks.

80 MARK MIRABELLO But, on December 6, 1941, the U.S.S.R. counter-attacked. Ultimately, the U.S.S.R. won the war. Curiously, when Russia was devastated in World War I, its government collapsed. When Russia was devastated even more catastrophically in World War II (in 1941-1945 the U.S.S.R. lost more people and more territory than the losses that brought down the tsar), the Russian state triumphed. Clearly, defeat is a state of mind. In war, defeat depends on people accepting the political mythology of defeat.

DEMOCRACY
Democracy, a word which is perverted today, actually means rule by the “common” or “poor” people. Most states which claim to be democracies are actually oligarchies ruled by a small and rich elite. Real democracies are possible, but only in restricted circumstances. First, the democracy must be small. In Plato’s Republic, the philosopher limited the number of citizens to 5,040, the largest number that one orator could address. As Lewis Mumford pointed out, the Greeks did not trust power to anyone out of their sight. Second, all elections must be by lottery so that all citizens have an equal chance to hold office. This was the practice in ancient Athens. Third, the citizens must be economically independent. In ancient Greece–a fiercely proud society–no citizen would demean himself by being the employee of another citizen.

DEMOCRACY (ANCIENT ATHENS)
Herodotus, the classical Greek historian, described Athenian democracy with these words: “All offices are assigned by lot, all officials are subject to investigation, and all policies are debated in public.” (Note there were no “official secrets” in the first democracy.) And, added Herodotus, Athenian democracy had “equality before the law” for all citizens.

DEMOCRACY, DEATH OF
According to Alexander Fraser Tyler, a British contemporary of George Washington, “A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can exist only until the voters discover they can vote themselves largesse (defined as a liberal gift) out of the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most

REBELS AND OUTLAWS 81 benefits from the public treasury, with the result that democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always to be followed by a dictatorship.” According to John Adams, a former American president, “Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.”

DEMOCRACY, MINORITIES AND
Minorities are impotent in real democracies. By the nature of things, when a minority votes it is automatically outvoted. To secure change in a democracy, a minority must use persuasion or violence. The United States, where the rich rule, is actually an oligarchy disguised as a quasi-democracy.

DEMOCRACY, WAR AND
General George C. Marshall said that a democracy cannot fight a sevenyear war. This suggests that a democracy that attempts to do so runs the risk of ceasing to be one. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, the Russian novelist, noted that “in the twentieth century Western democracy has not won any major war by itself.” In World War II, for example, the Western democracies needed the assistance of the totalitarian state of Joseph Stalin.

DENIABILITY, PLAUSIBLE
When states conduct clandestine or covert actions (the so-called “black operations”), they want to keep their involvement secret at all costs. To accomplish this goal, they camouflage the operation with “believable lies.” The lies—a form of disinformation—provide “plausible deniability.” According to William Guy Carr, the author of Pawns in the Game, “the more we study the methods employed by the Secret Powers behind international affairs, the more obvious it is to see that they make private assassinations look like accidents or suicides,” and they make “sabotage look like carelessness, errors of judgment, and unintentional blunders committed due to excusable circumstances.”

DEPRAVITY
To be depraved is to be corrupt. According to Friedrich Nietzsche, “I call an animal, a species, and an individual depraved when it loses its instincts, when it chooses, when it

DE SADE, MARQUIS (1740-1814)
A literary rebel and a Byronic hero, the author of Justine, Juliette, Philosophy in the Bedroom, 120 Days of Sodom, and other infamous works, the Marquis de Sade believed that “the most perfect being is the one whose activity causes the most change.” Although the Marquis de Sade dedicated his imagination to life, liberty, and the pursuit of beauty, he spent twenty-seven of his seventy-four years in prisons and asylums. Enduring loathsome conditions—rats and mice scurried over him when he tried to sleep—de Sade nevertheless managed to write his works, including one (The 120 Days of Sodom) on a single roll of paper twelve meters long. According to de Sade, “Tis false as well to say there is pleasure in affording pleasure to others; that is to serve them.”

DESERT
The desert is a place of sterile wastes and noxious animals. There are more than fifty deserts in the world, including the Sahara in Africa (three million square miles) and the Mojave in North America (fifteen thousand square miles). The “Empty Quarter,” 250,000 square miles in size (one-fourth the area of Saudi Arabia), is the largest area of continuous sand in the world. In the eyes of farmers, the desert is an obstacle. In the eyes of Bedouins, the desert is a highway. In the eyes of bandits, the desert is a sanctuary. In Muslim tradition, Allah made the desert so that there will always be a place where a man can find freedom. According to Aleister Crowley, the universe itself is a desert, and stars are thorns in the waste. “Now and again Travelers cross the desert; they come from the Great Sea, and to the Great Sea they go.”

DESERTION
An imaginary crime, desertion is (according to the state) the act of “illegally” running away from military service. Desertion was more widespread in the American Civil War than in any war in modern history. As the conflict drew to a close—in the spring of 1865—two-thirds of the men in the confederate army were “absent from

REBELS AND OUTLAWS 183 And firing from the Moon to the Earth requires less energy than firing from the Earth to the Moon. Not only is the Moon’s escape velocity only 5,400 miles per hour, but its lack of atmosphere creates a resistance-free medium. (Compare the Saturn V rocket needed to lift the Apollo spacecraft to the Moon with the diminutive rocket used to lift the Lunar module from the Moon.) Although one side of the Moon is always invisible to the Earth, in every twenty-four hour period all of the Earth is visible from the Moon, so any point on the surface of the Earth can be easily targeted. But can an army on the Earth effectively counter-attack? Since the Moon has no atmosphere, a nuclear blast there would not be efficient. (A blast is a wave of compression, which can be transmitted via the air or some other medium.) An explosion on the Moon would simply be a flash of light and (possibly) some radiation. As a result, the Moon would be a perfect command post.

MORTOCRACY
A mortocracy is government by death. Very literally, the country is ruled by death squads.

MOST, JOHANN (1846–1906)
A theorist of terrorism, and the man credited with the development of the letter bomb, Johann Most published The Science of Revolutionary Warfare in 1884. The work was designed as a “handbook of instruction” on the “use and manufacture of nitroglycerin, dynamite, gun cotton, fumigating mercury, bombs, arson, poisons,” and other weapons. Most was not interested in mass action—the army and police would crush such attempts—instead he wanted terror. Most believed that modern science, if correctly used, favors the revolutionary terrorist. Most believed that terrorists should act individually or in small groups. Bombs should be put in public places, such as churches, banks, police stations, and government offices. Johann Most was one of the first to recognize the significance of the media. According to his concept, the “propaganda of the deed,” the news is more important than the act itself. Most understood that the media amplifies the effect of a terrorist act (“kill one to frighten a hundred”). He also knew that, with the media, violence becomes more important than just eliminating a victim.

184 MARK MIRABELLO

MUHAMMAD (570-632)
A successful religious leader, Muhammad was the founder of Islam. To Muslims, he was sent by Allah and is the greatest of the prophets. They believe that he was the “paraclete” or “comforter” whose arrival Jesus predicted in the Gospel of John. To Jews and Christians, Muhammad was a desert caravan merchant who created a hybrid religion based on elements from their faiths. A classic example of what Niccolo Machiavelli called an “armed prophet,” Muhammad participated in seventy-eight battles. Humiliated by his enemies early in his career as a prophet, he triumphed over adversity and died a leader. Interestingly, Muhammad, even when a successful commander of men, lived in a simple cottage twelve feet square and eight feet high.

MURDER-FOR-HIRE
Hired killers are common in history. In the current era, perhaps the most infamous are the “contract killers” of the Mafia. The killers—called “enforcers”—are at the disposal of the crime bosses. No one outside the Mafia can hire a contract killer from within the Mafia. Prudently, the Mafia never uses its hired killers against law enforcement, journalists, or politicians. Killing such people is considered unnecessarily provocative. Once a contract is issued, the killer, who is always from out of town, goes to the victim’s city, kills the target, and then disappears, leaving the police with no suspects, no clues, and no motives. When a stranger kills a stranger, there is little or nothing on which to base an investigation. Against their own kind, Mafia hit men traditionally prefer the knife, the garrote, and the bullet. When they assassinate, however, they prefer the bomb. Their simplest bomb is made by placing shotgun shells in an automobile’s exhaust pipe.

MURDER, MORALITY OF
Throughout history man has used various intellectual maneuvers to make murder a morally acceptable act. In ancient Sparta, for example, each year the state declared war on the entire servile class, the people called helots. This act absolved in advance any Spartan who killed any helot for any reason.

REBELS AND OUTLAWS 185 In classical Rome, a citizen could legally kill any thief who came by night. Also, a citizen could legally kill–even in daylight–any armed robber. In India, members of the Thuggee sect believed that all their murdered victims went straight to paradise. By serving Kali, the goddess of death, the Thuggee believed that they also went to paradise. In modern states, soldiers are allowed to commit combat-sanctioned murder–as long as the victim is a designated belligerent. In America and Europe, commandos are taught to kill silently from behind. They plunge the knife through the lower back into a kidney. The wound is so painful that it paralyzes the victim, who quickly and silently dies. Commandos are taught that slitting a throat from behind is less effective. The victim can still make noise before he dies.

MURPHY’S LAW
The inherent tendency of things to go wrong is known in the British army as “Murphy’s Law.” Karl Maria von Clausewitz, the Prussian military theorist, noted that “countless minor incidents”—the kind you can never really foresee—combine to lower the general level of performance.” During World War II, the U-120, a German submarine, was sunk by a defective toilet.

MUSSOLINI, BENITO (1883-1945)
A tyrant, Benito Mussolini was successively an elementary school teacher, a journalist, a sergeant in World War I, and a totalitarian dictator. Strangely, Thomas Edison—the renowned American inventor—called Mussolini the greatest “genius” of modern times. Multi-lingual, Mussolini was an omnivorous reader who wrote novels and poetry and played the violin well. Friends called him “the professor.” Rising to power in Italy as the world’s first fascist dictator, Mussolini was an effective demagogue. His linguistic style—which captivated millions— made frequent use of rhythmic and tonal variations, hyperbole, imagery, metaphor, and alliterative and onomatopoeic expressions chosen for their sound and evocative power. Fantasizing about restoring the Roman Empire, Mussolini plunged into World War II on the side of Adolf Hitler. That alliance would lead to Italy’s defeat and Mussolini’s destruction.

186 MARK MIRABELLO Earlier—in 1933—Mussolini had made this observation about the Nazis: “I should be pleased, I suppose, that Hitler has carried out a Revolution on our lines. But they are Germans. So they will end up ruining our idea.”

MUTILATION
The mutilation of defeated enemies is common. Circa 1300 B.C., the Egyptian army returned with thirteen thousand severed penises cut from defeated Libyans. In the ninth century after Christ, the Bulgars killed Nicephorus I, the emperor of Byzantine Empire, and made a gilded goblet from his skull. In the nineteenth century, an army led by Muhammad Ahmad, who called himself the “Mahdi,” defeated an Anglo-Egyptian army led by Pasha Hicks. The victorious Mahdi forces severed ten thousand Anglo-Egyptian penises and threw them into a well near El-Obeyd. Until recent times, the Jivaro people of the Amazon shrank human heads to the size of oranges. They wore these heads of defeated enemies like medals.

MUTINY
A mutiny is an open rebellion against so-called authority—especially by soldiers or sailors against their officers. Oddly, a mutiny is rare among troops in combat. Blaise de Montluc warned captains to keep a watchful eye on the rear, for it is there that mutinies originate. Mutinies were especially serious during World War I. In the spring of 1917, half of all French divisions joined in a military strike. Similar breakdowns occurred in Italy and Russia later in the year, and in Germany in 1918. There have been several famous mutinies in American history. In 1783, for example, unpaid soldiers invaded the Continental Congress headquarters in Philadelphia and forced the members to flee across the river to Princeton.

MYTH
To the masses, a myth is a widely held but false belief. To the students of intellectual history, the primary function of myth is orientation. The myth, in effect, orders the world by providing a sacred reference point.

REBELS AND OUTLAWS 187 Without a myth a man’s sufferings become purposelessness, his fears become unintelligible, and his death becomes meaningless. The modern West is largely secular and materialistic, so its “myths” apply to the natural or profane world. In the West, there are four great modern myths or assumptions: 1) man’s aim is happiness, 2) man is naturally good, 3) history develops in endless progress, and 4) everything is matter or energy.

NAKEDNESS
To be naked–to be without clothing–has many meanings. To the ancient Egyptians, nakedness represented childhood and youth. To the Aztecs, nakedness symbolized defeat and humiliation. To modern Americans, nakedness represents eroticism.

NATION
The nation is an artificial collective. One scholar argued that a nation is an “imagined community involving feelings of solidarity.”

NATIONAL DIVIDEND
The National Dividend is a concept developed by C.H. Douglas, an engineer. It was revived by Ezra Pound, the poet and outlaw thinker. According to the National Dividend concept, every citizen should be declared a shareholder in the nation, and should receive (by right) dividends on the Gross National Product. Properly administered, Douglas estimated that a citizen would receive five times the amount a typical welfare recipient receives. Individual citizens would receive extra pay or bonuses for activities that increased the efficiency or productivity of the national economy.

‘NDRANGHETA
An organized crime group in the Calabrian area of Italy, ‘Ndrangheta means “bravery” or “courage” in the Greek dialect. The ‘Ndrangheta, which originated in the nineteenth century, is made up of about 140 families. The group is best known for kidnapping, including the abduction of the sixteen-year-old heir of billionaire John Paul Getty III in the 1970’s. The Getty family paid the ransom after receiving the boy’s severed ear.

NECHAEV, SERGEI (1847-1882)
An implacable rebel, Sergei Nechaev was born in tsarist Russia. The son of a serf, Nechaev became involved in radical politics while a student in St Petersburg. With Mikhail Bakunin, Nechaev wrote the Catechism of a Revolutionist in 1869. The influential work contains these famous words: The Revolutionist is a doomed man. He has no private interests, no affairs, sentiments, ties, property, not even a name of his own. His entire being is devoured by one purpose, one thought, one passion–the revolution. Heart and soul, not merely by word but by deed, he has severed every link with the social order and with the entire civilized world; with the laws, good manners, conventions, and morality of that world. He is its merciless enemy and continues to inhabit it with only one purpose–to destroy it. Nechaev claimed to be a member of a secret organization of terrible power called the People’s Retribution. When one of its members, I. I. Ivanov, questioned Nechaev’s political ideas, Nechaev had him murdered. Sentenced to twenty years of hard labor, Nechaev was found dead in his cell in 1882.

NEO-COLONIALISM
In contrast to traditional colonialism, which is a form of open control, neo-colonialism is control by other, more devious means. Kwame Nkrumah, writing in 1965, made this point in Neo-Colonialism: The Last Stage of Imperialism: In place of colonialism as the main instrument of imperialism we have today neo-colonialism. The essence of neo-colonialism is that the state which is subject to it is, in theory, independent and has all the outward trappings of international sovereignty. In reality its economic system and thus its political policy is directed from the outside.

NEOFEUDALISM
Neofeudalism is a system in which an elite of technocrats, strategists, and corporate barons control the country, with the rest of the population effectively denied any meaningful decision-making role.

NIGHT FIGHTING
Firing weapons at night reveals the fighter’s position. To remain hidden, fragmentation grenades and phosphorous grenades are better. When fighting at night, avoid entering (or leaving) a room with a light source to your rear. You will present a silhouette in the darkness which will make you an excellent target. Napoleon noted that the success of night attacks depended upon unpredictable circumstances, such as the barking of a dog.

NIGHT MOVEMENT
Whenever possible, avoid moving on hard ground at night. Hard ground produces an echo. Soft ground—which produces little echo—is superior. According to the Japanese ninja, the tread of a night fighter should be light and stealthy—almost furtive—and yet purposeful. It should be like the pace of a tiger that stalks a deer. Wear no shiny objects—such as wrist watches—and wear nothing that rattles or makes noise.

NIGHT VISION
When deployed in darkness, remember that night vision, unlike day vision, uses the periphery of the retina to receive light. To examine an object at night, look slightly above, below, or to the side of it. Remember that night vision can be degraded by a vitamin-A deficiency, by smoking tobacco, and by consuming alcohol.

NIGHT VISION (LIMITATIONS OF)
When moving at night, remember that darkness swallows colors, blurs shapes, and makes familiar things appear strange. You can see when looking from darkness into light, but not when looking from light into darkness. A person in a lighted room cannot see you in the darkness, unless you let your shadow fall on his window. Know also that guards using a spotlight develop a blind spot: they tend to see only what is in the spotlight.
